On this Friday – Σήμερα Παρασκευή…

I thought I might show you how we celebrate the Easter Vigil {the service held on midnight between Holy Saturday & Easter Day} in my home town in Kefalonia, Greece. I realize it may seem kind of weird or even plain crazy but, in my defense(!), the major part of the Mass takes place, normally, in a temple! The thing is that at the time of Matins, right after the Holy Light is passed on to the congregation, the priests and people leave the church and go in procession to the center of the city where they sing the hymn of the Resurrection amidst all the fireworks, firecrackers and sparklers {they do return to the temple shortly after for the rest of the service, which typically finishes at 3:00 or 4:00 a.m.}!

I’m really sorry for making it a little difficult but I want my channel to be exclusively accessible to my readers and not to just anyone! All you have to do is type in “KBtP” (what else?!) and it should be good to go! Enjoy…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Βράδυ Ανάστασης στην κεντρική πλατεία Αργοστολίου! {Για να δείτε το βιντεάκι πληκτρολογήστε, με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες, KBtP για να το ξεκλειδώσετε!}

A morning @ Lake Kerkini {part 2} I didn’t think you’ve had enough of the amazing place, where you can feast your eyes on the horizon for hours on end, and lose the line between the sky and the water, so there you go! Στο βορειοδυτικό τμήμα του νομού Σερρών, μόλις 40 χλμ. από την πόλη
